Warm Yang and remove dampness by drinking Tusu
Overview
Tusu wine is also called Sui wine, because it is a medicinal wine drunk on New Year's Eve and the first month of the year. It cannot be drunk after the first month of the year when the weather is hot. This is a story told by Wang Chengdetu, chief physician of Guang'anmen Hospital of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, who was a guest expert on the Health Hall program of Beijing TV Station a few days ago. Only then did we know that Tusu was originally the name of the house, and Tusu wine came from this. It has been passed down for thousands of years. Sun Simiao, the king of medicine in the Tang Dynasty, carried it forward and passed it down. The Tusu wine drank on New Year's Eve has the effect of replenishing temperature and yang, dispelling wind and cold.

Ingredients
Steps
-
Go to the drug store and weigh the medicine. I got the medicine from Tongrentang Pharmacy. Be sure not to buy fake medicine.
-
Wash the bottle used for making wine and dry it. It is best to use a ground-mouth bottle. I didn’t buy it so I used what I had at home.
-
First put the medicine into the bottle.
-
Then pour in high-strength wine. Experts say that it is best to use wine with about 53 degrees. I used Beijing Erguotou with 52 degrees.
-
Afraid that the lid wouldn't be tight, I first covered the mouth with a layer of plastic wrap, and then tightened the top lid.
-
The wine can be drunk after it has been brewed for 7 to 10 days. The day I brewed it was perfect for drinking on New Year's Eve.
